Definitions
- This invention relates to cartridge magazine holders, and more particularly, to concealable cartridge magazine holders from which the cartridge magazines may be quickly, easily and securely withdrawn.
- One type of conventional magazine holder is the simple stitched leather belt pouch having a top flap that fastens down over the magazine or magazines to retain them in position.
- a disadvantage of this type of magazine holder is that the top flap must be unfastened before the magazine can be withdrawn. Since speed of reloading may be vital in a combat situtation, the delay caused by the need for unfastening the top flap is undesirable and it may possibly be fatal.
- open-top belt pouch which is also typically made of stitched leather and holds one or more cartridge magazine in a vertical inverted position with their base portions exposed so that they may be immediately grasped and withdrawn by the wearer.
- the open-top magazine case depends upon snugness of fit to retain the magazines in position in spite of vigorous movements of the wearer.
- pouch-type magazine cases tend to accumulate litter or debris which tends to foul the cartridges and may interfere with the operation of a pistol. Pouch type magazine cases also tend to collect moisture which may corrode the cartridges. Also, if the first cartridge in the magazine rests against the bottom of the pouch, it may tend to become disaligned with the magazine lips so that when the magazine is inserted into the pistol, the first cartridge will not feed properly.
- the present invention provides a magazine holder that is worn high on the belt of the wearer and includes a magnet for retaining a pair of cartridge magazines in the vertical inverted position.
- the sides of the subject magazine holder are cut away to enable the user to obtain a secure four-finger grip on each magazine prior to withdrawing it so as to reduce the chance of fumbling during reloading.
- the subject magazine holder is preferably made of a single piece of leather, or other suitable material and is of stitchless construction for ease of manufacture and of long life.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of the outside of the subject magazine holder partially broken away to show the magnet assembly.
- FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the inside of the subject magazine case partially broken away to show other details of the construction.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 1 shows the subject magazine holder, generally designated 10, mounted on a belt 11 shown in phantom lines.
- the magazine holder 10 holds a pair of cartridge magazines 12 and 13 in the vertical inverted position.
- the magazine holder 10 is preferably made of a single piece of a suitable poromeric material such as, for example, 2-3 oz. Corfam originally manufactured by Du Pont Corporation of Wilmington, Delaware, Aztran manufactured by B.F. Goodrich Co. of Akron, Ohio or Porvair manufactured by the Goodyear Co. of Akron, Ohio.
- the sheet material 15 may be made of 5-6 oz. leather or 2-5 oz. polypropylene or polyethylene sheet material.
- the cartridge magazines 12 and 13 are retained in position by a magnet assembly preferably comprising a rubber magnet 17 sandwiched between two steel plates 18 and 19.
- a magnet assembly 17-19 is manufactured by Owen & Morris, Inc., of New York, New York. It will be appreciated, however, that other types of magnets may be used within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- the single piece of sheet material 15 is wrapped around the bottom 21 of magnet assembly 17-19, up the outside of magazine case 10 overlying the steel plate 18, over the top 22 of magnet assembly 17-19 and down the inside of magazine case 10.
- the end 23 of sheet material 15 forms a tab which can be used for unsnapping the magazine holder 10 from the belt 11 of the wearer.
- Sheet material 15 is fastened to the magnet assembly 17-19 by a pair of rivets 25 and 26.
- Sheet material 15 includes a pair of tabs that extend at right angles to the main axis of the piece and are wrapped around the magazine tubes 12a and 13a to form retaining loops 28 and 29 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the ends 31 and 32 of loops 28 and 29 are secured to the magnet assembly 17-19 by a rivet 26 or other suitable fastening means.
- Snap fastener 34 may be of a conventional type, such as for example the Dot fasteners manufactured by the United Carr Fastener Corp., of New York, New York. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 3 the female portion of the snap fastener 34 is mounted on tab end 23 of sheet material 15 while the male portion of snap fastener 34 is mounted on rivet 26. Snap fastener 34 is preferably a "one-way" snap fastener that can be opened only by pulling tab 23 away from the body of magazine holder 10. The use of a one-way snap fastener provides security in the mounting of magazine holder 10 on belt 11 because the one-way snap fastener 34 will not unsnap when the magazine holder 10 is pulled away from belt 11.
- the design of the magazine holder 10 is such that its lower part in the region of rivet 26 is thicker than its upper part in the region of rivet 25. More particularly, snap fastener 34 projects toward the body of the wearer and thereby serves to wedge the bases 12b and 13b of the magazines 12 and 13 against the body of the wearer. This feature of the subject magazine holder 10 plus the flat orientation of the magazines 12 and 13 promotes easy concealment beneath the clothing of the wearer.
- the design of the subject magazine case 10 leaves a great portion of the magazines 12 and 13 exposed to the immediate grasp of the wearer. This permits the wearer to obtain a very secure four-fingered grip on the magazine prior to withdrawing it from holder 10. Moreover, the user can retain the same grip on the magazine until he inserts it into the pistol. The fact that the subject magazine holder 10 permits the user to obtain a secure grip that need not be shifted during the reloading operation tends to eliminate fumbling that could be dangerous or even fatal to a user involved in a combat situation.
- opening 36 and 37 at the bottom of each magazine loops 28 and 29 respectively.
- the openings 36 and 37 provide ventilation and drainage and prevent debris from accumulating.
- openings 36 and 37 help to prevent corrosion and/or fouling of the cartridges 38 and 39.
- the noses of cartridges 38 and 39 are able to partially project through openings 36 and 37 so that the cartridges 38 and 39 can keep their normal position between the lips 12c and 13c of magazines 12 and 13 respectively.
- openings 36 and 37 of magazine holder 10 help to reduce the chance of jamming a pistol due to a misaligned first cartridge.
